Columbo has to solve a crime at the embassy of a middle-east nation. The culture there is different, and the main suspects have diplomatic immunity. Also, to complicate matters, there is a student demonstration outside the gates, and the king is visiting the embassy. However, Columbo decides to investigate the matter in his own persistent way. Written by Maarten Hofman <jen@cistron.nl>
In this wonderful episode of Columbo he has to deal in the embassy where a different (middle-east like) culture is present, and many people are diplomatically immune. Especially the cultural differences are brought wonderfully, good research has been done, except by Columbo himself, who blunders about in his charming innocent way.
